RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT and TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

Summit's Engineering Group is organized to diagnose problems and recommend solutions for your electroplated materials systems. Offering years of experience in Electro-Chemistry, Electronics and Mechanical Engineering, our technical group solves problems and offers solutions.

Plating technology development is the driving force behind SCA. We maintain a fully staffed Materials Laboratory Group equipped with the most modern research and development equipment available today, including a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). We also have in-house Laboratory Plating lines for prototyping, pilot trials and testing as well as sophisticated Metallurgical and Chemical Labs.

But equipment is only as good as the people using it. SCA has the right people and the experience to put the equipment to good use. Our people understand both what the equipment does and what it's limitations are. Our expertise and experience provide us the ability to interpret data within the context of the specific application, allowing for root cause approach to problem solving.

As a result, SCA can anticipate problems, offer solutions and recommendations that are more cost and performance effective. That's why, after more than fifty years, Summit Corporation of America continues to be an increasingly sophisticated source for precision plated barrel and rack components, continuous coil stock, wire and stampings as well as other electroplated materials systems and technology.

Remember - SCA is your R&D partner. If you don't see what you need, ask. Chances are we're working on it or already have it. And if we don't, we'll set up a program to develop it. SCA often works with customers in partnership programs. We will set up a dedicated team that will work in conjunction with your R&D group to develop the processes that will meet your future requirements. We're that serious about technology and we're ready to grow with you.
